The Jack Spicer Theory

The Jack Spicer Theory is one of the Enfiveinator's Theories of Fandom. The theory states that if a fandom has a main antagonist, he will eventually become trumped by much darker antagonists in the future. Sure, that guy may seem like an ass now, but one day you'll go up against an even bigger ass, and the first guy will start to look like a flimsy piece of shit. And when more and more badass villains come into play, the main antagonist will slowly degenerate into a lowly comic relief.

Another thing that binds these villains together is the fact that if this newcomer decides he wants to take over the world, the main antagonist won't get to, and thus the villain will actually team up with his archnemesis to take down the greater power.

Though this theory occurs more often than not, it is not absolute, as some villains tend to stay top dog throughout the fandom, no matter how badass the newcomers get. However, it shall be noted that more often than not, even these villains tend to help out the heroes from time to time.

Poor saps that fall into this category: Jack Spicer, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, King Bowser Koopa, King Dedede, Vlad Masters and many more.

Please note that I am NOT saying that these villains are terrible. In fact, they are all among the most beloved in their respective fandom. The information in this theory is based off of their storyline in their particular fandom.
